Our client in the Information Technology and Services industry is looking for a DevOps Engineer / Build Pipeline Engineer to own and evolve a Jenkins Shared Library powering multi-language builds across Java/Maven Node/NPM Python Helm Terraform and container technologies. The successful candidate will deliver fast secure provenance-rich pipelines using SLSA SBOMs and artifact digests while strengthening software supply chain integrity across engineering teams.

What you will do:

• Design and maintain Groovy pipeline steps covering build test package scan and deployment activities.
• Extend Python tooling for SLSA provenance SBOM generation hash and digest accuracy and security scan aggregation.
• Integrate and maintain security scanning capabilities across SonarQube Sonatype IQ SAST and container scanning.
• Optimise pipeline performance through parallel builds caching dependency prefetching and scope-reduced BOMs.
• Ensure artifact integrity through accurate SHA1/SHA256 mapping reproducible inputs and evidence modelling.
• Refactor legacy scripts by removing global state consolidating hashing and standardising pipeline templates.
• Document standards configuration requirements and usage patterns.
• Mentor engineers on secure pipeline development and software supply chain practices.
• Troubleshoot pipeline incidents and implement improvements to prevent recurring issues.
• Assess the current shared library structure and understand supported building blocks and modules.

• Bring deep knowledge of Maven NPM and Python packaging with exposure to Helm Terraform and container image metadata.
• Demonstrate strong understanding of software supply chain security practices including SLSA CycloneDX SBOMs and artifact digests.
• Bring hands-on experience with SonarQube Sonatype IQ container scanning and SAST solutions.
• Demonstrate proven experience optimising pipeline performance through caching parallelisation dependency pruning and similar techniques.
• Demonstrate awareness of security compliance and software supply chain requirements.
• Bring experience with artifact signing and attestations using technologies such as cosign and OCI as an advantage.
• Demonstrate experience publishing Terraform modules and Helm charts as an advantage.
• Bring GitOps or release automation experience as an advantage.
